The addition of the prefix "Evil" creates a redundancy in the context of modern conspiracy theories. In the lore of conspiracy culture (popularized by Robert Anton Wilson’s The Illuminatus! Trilogy and later films, music, and literature), the Illuminati are already conceptualized as the "bad guys." They are accused of masterminding global wars, manipulating economies, and orchestrating world events for their own gain.
